`duly sworn, was examined and testified as
`follows:
` EXAMINATION
`BY MS. JACOBSEN:
` Q. Good morning, Dr. Ratain. 09:31
` A. Good morning. 09:31
` Q. Now, I know you've been deposed 09:31
`before, and so there's not a great deal of need 09:31
`to go over the ground rules. 09:31
` But just so that we have a clean 09:31
`record as before, I ask that you wait until I 09:31
`finish my question before you answer, and I 09:31
`will try to do the same with respect to your 09:31
`answers. 09:31
` Is that okay? 09:31
` A. Yes. 09:31
` Q. And if you don't understand any of 09:31
`my questions, please ask me to rephrase them or 09:31
`to clarify the terms that you don't understand. 09:31
` Can you do that? 09:32
` A. I assume you mean if I don't 09:32

`ratios for various patient populations." 12:23
` Do you see that? 12:23
` MR. STRANG: Objection to scope. 12:23
` THE WITNESS: I see that. 12:23
`BY MS. JACOBSEN: 12:23
` Q. So at least this references drawing 12:23
`a distinction between activity, which is 12:23
`Objective 3, and effectiveness, which is 12:23
`Objective 4, is that fair? 12:23
` MR. STRANG: Objection to scope. 12:23
` THE WITNESS: Well, I think 12:23
` effectiveness is different than efficacy. 12:23
` So effectiveness is when you give a drug to 12:23
` large populations, does it work? 12:23
` Efficacy and activity are used 12:23
` interchangeably, and I don't distinguish 12:24
` activity and efficacy. 12:24
` A summary of efficacy could be 12:24
` considered a measure of effectiveness, but 12:24
` effectiveness has a distinct meaning from 12:24
` efficacy. 12:24
`BY MS. JACOBSEN: 12:24
` Q. And what does "effectiveness" mean? 12:24
` A. It means if you want to give a drug 12:24

`to large populations, will it work? 12:24
` Q. And that is a distinct concept from 12:24
`activity? 12:24
` A. It is a distinct concept from 12:24
`activity. 12:24
` Q. Okay. 12:24
` A. I mean, a drug may be active, but it 12:24
`may be too toxic to be effective, for example. 12:24
` Q. Okay. And when you talk about 12:24
`activity and efficacy in your expert 12:24
`declaration, you're talking about activity 12:24
`rather than effectiveness? 12:24
` A. That is correct, because 12:24
`effectiveness requires -- to demonstrate 12:24
`effectiveness, you really need Phase III 12:24
`randomized trials. 12:25
` Q. And then let's turn to Page 507. 12:25
`And there's a section that's entitled 12:25
`"Label-Driven Question-Based Clinical 12:25
`Development Plan Paradigm." 12:25
` Do you see that? 12:25
` A. I do. 12:25
` MR. STRANG: Objection, scope. 12:25

` trial was that was done with everolimus. 13:21
` Bolero or something? 13:21
`BY MS. JACOBSEN: 13:21
` Q. No, that's the breast cancer one. 13:21
` A. All right. Whatever the trial that 13:21
`was done in PNET, whatever the name of that 13:21
`trial was, I have those data. 13:21
` If I ignored the placebo patients 13:21
`and just focused on the patients treated with 13:21
`everolimus and only counted responses, I would 13:21
`say the response rate is 4.8 percent. That's 13:21
`not very good. It's not a very good drug. 13:21
`It's not worth pursuing. 13:21
` Q. All right. And that's because 13:21
`everolimus or mTOR inhibitors are not agents 13:22
`where you would expect to see a high response 13:22
`rate, is that correct? 13:22
` A. That's correct. 13:22
` Q. And the Phase II trial that we've 13:22
`been talking about, the Duran temsirolimus 13:22
`trial, that's not a trial that demonstrates 13:22
`effectiveness as we spoke about it before 13:22
`lunch, is that correct? 13:22
` A. That's correct. 13:22
